Day 2: The Zoe Photography Advent Calendar of Wedding Photography in Liverpool

Chloe is our Day 2 Advent Calendar bride. She married Mark on Easter Sunday in Waterloo, Liverpool, with a beautiful reception at Leverhulme Hotel, Port Sunlight, Wirral. It was a real pleasure to photograph their Liverpool and Wirral wedding, alongside David Beckham-Doyle who did the most beautiful flower displays with David Austin roses, and who I always love to work with.

Chloe and Mark's Wedding at St Mary's Waterloo and Leverhulme Hotel and Spa

Easter Sunday was a bit of a grey day - unless you were Chloe and Mark and all their family and friends, because it was a perfect day for a wonderful wedding. Chloe's dress, and her choice of dresses for her bridesmaids, was gorgeous, and Mark looked perfect in his blue lounge suit.  Someone had booked a dove release, unbeknownst to both Chloe and Mark, but they looked so sweet next to the arch at the entrance to the church.

The flowers were beautiful - but then I wouldn't expect anything less from David Beckham-Doyle. His artistic flair always comes out in his flower displays, and for Chloe and Mark the flowers complemented all the details well. I particularly loved the cherry blossom wishing tree!

After the ceremony we travelled across the water to the Leverhulme Hotel and Spa - a lovely backdrop for any wedding, nestled in Port Sunlight village, where their family and friends celebrated in style - such lovely families and friends! This is definitely one of those venues where you run out of time before you run out of places to take photographs!

And the wedding would not have been complete without a perfect cake, as Karen, Chloe's mum, runs The Cake Shop in Central Station concourse in Liverpool - but that deserves a blog post all of its own!  For now, here is the sneak peak for Chloe and Mark - I know they're just going to love their pictures!

Vicky and Dave's Port Sunlight Wedding and Reception at Leverhulme Hotel and Spa

Vicky and Dave got married in one of my all time favourite villages at the weekend - Port Sunlight! I've always loved the village since I was a child, so it was an absolute pleasure to get the opportunity to photograph their ceremony in Christ Church in the village (and a huge thanks to Norman for looking after us there), and on to the Leverhulme Hotel and Spa (and another shout out this time for Charles who looked after us, and let me join the couple in the gorgeous Phantom for us to go on a short drive for photographs around the village).

Vicky and Dave certainly went to town on their theme with touches of red throughout everything, including all the guests!  And there were two surprises outside the church - the first one was Biscuit, their cute dog, who came to say hello, and the second was a chimney sweep to wish them luck.  I'm sure this lovely couple will have all the luck in the world, and deservedly so, too.  So here we go, a little sneak peak of the happy couple!
